摘要

语料库成分实际上是语言的缩影。随着计算机技术的不断进步,基于语料库的研究在语言教学中的应用越来越广泛。作为一款专为语言课堂设计的免费语料库分析软件,AntConc为用户提供了一个功能强大的工具包,具有各种功能来分析加载的书面文本。像Antconc的一致性工具和聚类部分这样的基本功能展示了评估学生语言能力表现的可能性。考虑到雅思考试作为一项被广泛认可的标准化考试,以及大量的中国学生为了出国留学而准备雅思考试,本研究设法在英语写作课程中建立了一个自建的学生论文语料库。通过复杂的编码和标注系统,我们获得了一套带有词性标注的标准文本材料。基于对学生雅思写作样本与情态短文语料库的数据分析,我们对学生的词汇资源进行了相应的评价,并提出进一步的建议和量身定制的解决方案,以帮助学生提高写作能力。在示范作文语料库的帮助下,学生可以获得有用的指导,增加语法的多样性和准确性,从而提高写作能力。我们的研究为语料库具有从根本上改变语言教育方式的巨大潜力这一结论提供了更多的证据。显然,与来自不同背景的高水平学生一起工作的教师需要了解最新的语料库工具,以便在他们的写作课程中进行更精细的调整或专门定制的应用。

Application of Self-Constructed Corpus in the English Writing Course
The corpus constituents are actually the miniature of language. As the computer technology continuously progresses, corpus-based research proves increasingly applicable to language teaching and learning. As a free corpus analysis software program designed specifically for use in the language classrooms, AntConc provides the users with a powerful toolkit with various features to analyze the loaded written texts. Basic functions like the concordance tool and cluster sections of Antconc demonstrate the possibility to assess the performance of students' language proficiency. Considering the fact that IELTS is widely recognized as a standardized test and a big number of Chinese students are preparing for it in order to study abrord, the present study managed to built a self-constructed corpus of students essays in the English writing course. By means of the sophisticated coding and tagging systems, we obtained a set of standard text materials attached with the label of part of speech. Based upon the data analysis of the students’ IELTS writing samples against the modal essay corpus, we conducted the corresponding evaluation of students' lexical resource and offer further suggestions and tailor-made solutions in order to help students improve their writing ability. Under the help of the model essay corpus, students might obtain useful instructions, increase grammar diversity and accuracy, thereby become more competent writers. Our study added more evidence to the conclusion that corpus has a great potential to fundamentally change the ways we approach language education. Apparently, teachers working with highly proficient students from diverse backgrounds need to be informed about the latest corpus tools for a more fine-tuned or specifically tailored application in their writing course.
